Whatever
I think that many people will be able to identify with this film. As always, I made a point of knowing virtually nothing about it before I saw it, and I’d recommend doing the same. If you know about the plot beforehand, the impact will be markedly ruined. The first thought that came to mind after the first few sequences was “they haven’t shown anyone’s face yet”.. I guess that’s the point. If you are reading this, then you most likely are not starving, and are amongst the rich 1 billion of the world. So the actions portrayed initially in this middle class existence needn’t any face, as they pertain to all of us, we the regurgitators of human aspirations (weird phrasing). We don’t have a face, as there is nothing to tell us apart from the next person. Anyway, it’s absurd to think that the mental process that took over the family is considered an exception, but the fact that it is only highlights how sick our society is, refusing to remodel this cataclysmic and decerebrate way of being. I was affected by the subsequent events that transpired, and one particular scene still haunts me in a vicious way, although it cannot be mentioned here… suffice to say it broke free from a certain degree of apathy shown by the main characters throughout, revealing the desperate and twisted cry of raw emotion that can exude from even the most planned chaos. Watch it all the way through, it is meant to bore you for a while, it wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t.
Haunting tale not to be missed..
This underapreciated and much unheard film deals with the life of a typical family that takes a dramatic turn in their history.Scenes cut to black. There is little dialogue. But the scenes create an intense paranoia and huge sense of aprehension as you sit back wondering what is going to happen. Awesome directing technique in creating two different worlds. One that is everyday and normal, the other frightningly disturbing.
A hand reaches for a hammer, and chooses a different one. A man in a junk yard drives his car towards his daughter. The sound of a mother gasping for air. A fish tank is destroyed. All these scenes which are so simple (even some of them not seen) and so BRILLIANT that they convey a sense of a anxiety and horror even though there are actions of ordinary people.
I just saw this at a special screening of Austrian director Michael Haneke’s work. They are showing a trilogy of his best work and I can’t wait to see “Benny’s video” and “71 Fragments of a chronology of Chance”.
If you ever do hear of this film (THe seventh continent) DON’T MISS IT you will NEVER see another film like it.
